When something like
that is discovered it always has a comic effect.
MRS. WOLFF
You're a cruel man, really, Doctor. I can't go an' laugh about things
like that.
FLEISCHER
You mustn't think that I'm not sorry for the man, for all that.
MRS. WOLFF
Them must be pretty strange people. I don't know. There ain't no way o'
understandin' that. Just to go an' rob other people o' what's theirs--no,
then it's better to work till you drop.
FLEISCHER
You might perhaps make a point of keeping your ears open. I believe the
coat is supposed to be in the village.
MRS. WOLFF
Has they got any suspicion o' anybody?
FLEISCHER
Oh, there was a washerwoman working at the Krueger's....
MRS. WOLFF
By the name o' Miller?
FLEISCHER
And she has a very large family...?
MRS. WOLFF
The woman's got a large family, that's so, but to steal that way ... no!
She might take some little thing, yes.
FLEISCHER
Of course Krueger put her out.
MRS. WOLFF
Aw, that's bound to come out. My goodness, the devil hisself'd have to be
back o' that if it don't. I wish I was justice here. But the man is that
stoopid!--well! I c'n see better'n the dark than he can by day with his
glass eye.
